This is a novel idea -- one that we likely wouldn't do, mind you -- ditch your smartphone and see if your world actually does crumble using only voice and text to communicate. Nokia Conversations' Charlie thought that Nokia's best selling basic set, the Nokia 1100 -- some 200 million of these have been sold -- is the perfect device for this challenge as it does what a phone has to do and nothing more and that's call and (arguably) text. The rules are dead simple, live a month using only the lowly Nokia 1100. So? What are you all waiting for, grab one off eBay, donate your iPhone / Touch Diamond to charity and get to it. Oh yeah, feel free to let us know how you deal with the shakes and crying, but please, post that info from a computer.
